The word “prophet” isderived from the word naba meaning “from on high”, and thereforepeople ‘on high’ should have a vision to distant sites (futurepredictions) called nubuwwah.

The Prophet received the revelation should deliver but do nothave liability for certain people or certain areas. While, the word”apostle” comes from the word meaning submission Risala. Therefore,the apostles, after first appointed as a prophet, tasked withdelivering revelation obligation upon a people or a particularregion. Of all the apostles, Muhammad as the “Seal of Prophets’which gets an official title in the Qur’an Allah is the only onewhose duties include the people and the whole region of theuniverse ‘Rahmatan lil Alamin’.

Believe in the prophets and apostles is the fourth pillar offaith in Islam.
